I love our national anthem, God Save the Queen. I love the idea of the queen, and God looking after her. I was highly amused today at Church to sing a song that had the same tune as my national anthem but couldn't be more American. Here are the words:
My country,' tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims' pride,
from every mountainside let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills, like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
let mortal tongues awake;
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
Our fathers' God, to thee,
author of liberty, to thee we sing;
long may our land be bright
with freedom's holy light;
protect us by thy might, great God, our King.
Liberty, pilgrims, freedom... it's definately American. I think I like my version more. It has the word victorious, glorious and queen in it. :) Awesome :)
